USA Web Cash collection calls? Need advice.

In January 2012 I had a $300 online loan with USA Web Cash. They are authorized & licensed to lend in my state. I was going through a very bad time, and did not repay it. My loan status is "written off" on their site (I logged in to check) as of May 2012.

This morning, September 2013, I received a collection call from 718-412-9486 threatening legal action and telling me I needed to set something up before the attorneys proceed. They say I now owe over $900 to repay.

If the original lender wrote my loan off, what can they do? I am concerned about this. I have my life back on track but my budget is very tight due to all my repayments and I just can't afford even $50/month toward repaying something.

The
company never identified themselves. Google search of the number shows
it is owned by "Level 3 Communications LLC" in NY, appears to be a
collection agency of some sort, most records show it in other parts of
the country.

their
website states they are an installment lender,and don't do pdl's.also
they don't loan below 500.00 as they are an installment lender.now what
state are you in?a serach of the number reveals alot of complaints
meaning bottomfeeder.seems like another legal lender just passing their
debt to a bottomfeeder.need to know your state before advising
further.

level
3 communications is an internet and telecommunications company.nowhere
in any state does it show they are collectors.they might have spoofed
the number which is illegal,but i doubt this is really level 3.i would
report them,and usa web cash as they have their fair share of complaints
as well.next time this place calls demand something in writing as any
legit place will provide at least a dunning letter.never pay,or give any
voice over the phone any credibility until you see something in
writing.now what state aer you in?

I am
in Texas. It was an online loan for $300 with repayments of $66/month,
so an installment type loan.

again
i didn't see a license in the CSO database.anyway even if this was a
legal lender this "law firm"is not as again level 3 is not a CA.so this
bottomfeeder spoofed their number most illegal.btw if they threaten
garnishment then you know they are not legit as TX is
non-garnishment.furthermore your state is one of the most consumer
friendly,and collector non-friendly states.now anyplace must post a bond
with your DFI to collect.next time they call demand at least the name of
this"law firm"then look them up for their bond.if they refuse to give
you a name ignore them as they are not legit at all,and you need to
report usa web cash to your AG.last thing again demand at least the name
of this place as they must post a bond to collect,and i almost guarantee
they don't have it.

By signing up a debt counseling session, your provided details (Name, Email ID and Phone No.) will be forwarded to the company advertising on the DebtCC. However, you have no obligation to use their services.

Some creditors and collection agencies refuse to lower the payoff amount, interest rate, and fees owed by the consumer.

Creditors/collection agencies can make collection calls and file lawsuits against the consumers represented by the debt relief companies.

Debt relief services may have a negative impact on the consumer's creditworthiness and his overall debt amount may increase due to the accumulation of extra fees.

The amount which the consumer saves with the use of debt relief services can be regarded as taxable income.
